Ms. Garner said the effort was fun and gratifying. "We started by asking the Carlsbad Shelter what they needed. Then we asked Trader Joe's Markets if they would help and they donated 300 paper bags. A flyer, listing the needs of the Shelter was created and donated by local designer Barb Morris. We took an afternoon to deliver all 300 bags and flyers to residents and asked that filled bags be placed at the end of their driveway on a specific day to be picked up and delivered to the Shelter.
"The response was overwhelming," said Michael Garner. "We expected donations of what people had on hand but many residents purchased new blankets, food and other necessities. The staff at the Carlsbad Shelter was thrilled to receive so many needed items."
Ms. Garner said, "We are always looking to partner with Carlsbad businesses to help with diverse community needs. It's rewarding to give back and meet great people in the process."
Pat Garner was recognized as Broker of the Year 2013 by the San Diego Association of Realtors in part for service to the community.
